Peavey XR-696F
The Peavey XR-696F is a powered mixer from Peavey's XR Series. It was one of three new powered mixers the company added to the line around the early 2000s, alongside the XR 684F (400 watts program into 4 ohms) and the XR 800F+ (500 watts RMS per channel into 4 ohms). Pro Audio Review (October 2003, p.42) reviewed the 696F and put its output at 1,200 watts RMS program into 4 ohms. It sits in a 19-inch rack enclosure 10.75 inches high and 11 inches deep, and weighs just under 42 pounds.
The standout feature was Peavey's Feedback Ferret feedback eliminator. Pro Audio Review (October 2003, p.83) described it as automatically scanning and filtering feedback with 16 filters. The same write-up covered studio-rehearsal and mid-sized-club use and noted that the EQ sliders moved smoothly. An EQ Magazine (November 2002, p.74) new-product roundup also flagged two nine-band graphic EQs, Peavey's patented Feedback Locating System, a built-in internal DSP stereo reverb, and stereo line inputs on channels 7-9.
Little else is documented. No production years, original price, or full factory spec sheet survive in the available record.
